BEEFY’S WELLY TRIP

A TEST in Wellington reminds me of England’s last trip there. Jonathan Agnew called the troops together in the build-up, the rendezvous point a local fish shack. A long lunch spilled into dinner over the road, where a certain IT Botham returned from the bar with a tray of drinks, fell down five steps but didn’t spill a drop! Such agility was inconspicuous at the end of the night, though. The harbour road in the city has four lanes each way and on sight of the green man, Beefy burst into a gentle jog… and landed face first on the ground.
